Will the super 7 keepers work with Manley retainers?

They are designed to fit any company's "Super Seven" retainer.

Since no one has asked the question properly. Can someone specify examples of "Super Seven" retainers in the market today, 918's? comp duals? rev duals? what....

People want to know if they can switch without buying a whole new spring/retainer set.

Super 7 was designed by a gentleman years ago for the cup teams. It is a thick keeper with a 14 degree included angle. The properties of the lock design makes it and the retainer as one. This helped the Cup guys from dropping valves at 9K and destroying engines.

The std. 7 degree retainer that all or most of you have will not fit. Any of the Manley/Patriot/DelWest/Comp super 7 retainers will fit this lock.

So if I have comp retainers for my 918 springs it will work. Just double checking cause you said any.

He said "Any of the Manley/Patriot/DelWest/Comp super 7 retainers will fit this lock" - I think that means they specifically have to be "super 7 retainers" made by those companies.

Well on January 23, 2004, Terry, you responded with this "Sorry,
Send me the info again.I will get back with you.". I responded on January 23, 2004. Todays, January 26, 2004. No response. I'm thinking my pm is not working.
